Lotus is a 2008 Triplast Y40 Cruiser that embodies the strength, balance and offshore capability for which this respected European design is known. Built by Triplast Anton Novak s.p. and constructed to CE Category A standards, the Y40 has earned a reputation among experienced sailors as a serious blue-water cruiser with the integrity and composure to handle demanding conditions.
Measuring 11.99 metres LOA with a generous 4.12 metre beam, Lotus offers an ideal blend of performance and liveability. Her solid GRP construction, stable fin keel and well proportioned sail plan deliver confident, predictable handling whether coastal cruising or undertaking extended offshore passages. Owners of the Y40 consistently praise the model’s ability to maintain speed and comfort when conditions become challenging.
Mechanically she is powered by a reliable 29.4HP Yanmar diesel engine, supported by a comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite including ST60 instrumentation and Smartpilot autopilot. A Webasto diesel heating system and pressurised hot water provide comfort across varying climates, enhancing her suitability for long range cruising.
Below deck, the four-cabin layout accommodates up to eight berths, making her equally suited to family sailing or hosting guests. Teak and holly flooring, generous 1.95m saloon headroom and a practical fully equipped galley create a warm and functional interior designed for life at sea.
Currently lying in Porto Novi Marina, Lotus presents as a capable, proven cruising yacht with genuine offshore pedigree and enduring appeal. She offers a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a well constructed 40 foot platform ready for its next adventure.
